Ruan Xingyao said, “Miss, don’t keep us guessing—hurry up and tell everyone what kind of pet you have.”
She really didn’t have much patience!
When “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” heard Ruan Xingyao say that, the dark, sinister look in her eyes instantly deepened.
That damned woman—just wait until she scares her half to death!
“Since the streamer can’t wait any longer, I’ll let everyone see my pet then!” “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” said.
She held her phone, stood up, and walked toward the place where she kept her pet.
As she walked, she repeated again, “I still have to remind everyone—those who are timid should leave the livestream room right away!”
Repeating this kind of warning again and again made everyone in the livestream chat start to grow impatient.
[I mean, what’s wrong with you? If anyone timid didn’t dare to watch, they’d have already left. The rest of us obviously want to see it, so stop dragging it out—what exactly are you trying to do?]
[Am I the only one who finds this person weird? She doesn’t seem like she’s here to talk to the streamer out of concern for her pet—she seems like she’s deliberately trying to make the streamer’s viewer count drop.]
[Now that you mention it, that really is the feeling I’m getting.]
[I’m telling you, could she have come here just to stir up trouble?]
[Well, I want to see what kind of “scary” thing she’s going to show us!]
Seeing those skeptical comments scrolling across the screen made “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” even more furious.
She really was here on purpose to disrupt this livestream.
Why should some random streamer, who just happened to come up with a gimmick no one else had used before, be so lucky to get so many fools watching and even get an endorsement from the police?
While she herself had worked so hard streaming for so long, yet only ever had a pitiful handful of viewers?
How could she not be jealous!
Since that was the case, they couldn’t blame her for what she was about to do.
Taking advantage of the lively chatter in the comments, “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” suddenly swung the camera around to reveal a massive container—
Inside, coiled up, was a huge golden python.
At this moment, the camera couldn’t capture her expression, so no one saw the vicious smile on her face.
She was using another phone to watch the livestream, wanting to see how those fools looked when she scared them.
Especially that streamer named Starry.
She wanted to see her face turn pale in fright.
Even better if she could make her scream in terror—then she could expose all those little tricks of hers.
Let’s see who would still believe in that damn gimmick about her being able to understand animals!
Sure enough, just as “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” expected, the bullet chat went silent for a while.
However, the mass drop in viewer count she imagined didn’t happen.
Instead, just over ten seconds later, the bullet chat grew lively again.
[Whoa! If my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, that’s a Burmese python?]
[Seriously?! That sweet and cute girl actually keeps a Burmese python as a pet? That’s unbelievable!]
[But to be fair, the color really is beautiful!]
[Quick question—totally curious here—is it legal to keep one of these? It’s so pretty, I kinda want one too!]
[Oh man, I admit I really was scared! I’m outta here!]
“I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” saw the bullet chat praising her Burmese python, but instead of feeling happy, she was annoyed.
All she noticed were a few scattered comments saying they were scared—yet the number of viewers in the livestream hadn’t dropped but actually increased.
How could she not be furious?
Taking a deep breath, “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” turned the camera back to herself.
Smiling, she said to everyone, “I already warned you—if I scared you, you can’t curse at me, okay?”
At this moment, she looked like an adorably sweet girl again, as if she had no dark thoughts at all.
However, when she finally focused on observing Ruan Xingyao’s reaction, she didn’t see any of the expressions she had been expecting.
Instead, she saw a look that clearly said, “That’s it?”
That strong feeling of being openly belittled and mocked instantly surged through her chest, making it impossible for her to keep her expression in check.
“I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” asked,
“Streamer, aren’t you afraid?”
Ruan Xingyao chuckled a little and replied,
“Why would I be afraid? I already said it—whether it flies in the sky, swims in the water, or walks on land, I can understand what they say. They’re all my little friends. Why would I be scared of my little friends?”
“R-Really?” “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year”’s mouth twitched.
She wanted to snap back, but since she was live, she forced herself to hold it in.
Ruan Xingyao pretended not to notice her thoughts and instead asked with interest,
“So, I wonder—what would you like to know about your pet?”
Not having achieved her intended purpose, “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” could only follow Ruan Xingyao’s lead.
“My Xiaoguai’s appetite has been really poor lately. It barely eats anything, and I’m very worried.”
Ruan Xingyao made an “Oh” sound, but instead of immediately communicating with the golden python named Xiaoguai, she fixed her gaze intently on “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year”.
Even though they were separated by the camera, for some reason, “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” felt a strange sense of guilt as if her hidden secret had already been completely seen through.
However, the live chat barrage quickly started a new round of skepticism because Ruan Xingyao hadn’t spoken to the python right away.
【Why isn’t the streamer asking? Didn’t she say she could understand any animal? Could it be she’s just bluffing?】
【Exactly! With cats and dogs, you can figure out what they’re thinking just by spending time with them. But a golden python? That’s out of her league.】
【Lol, upstairs clearly hasn’t watched her streams. The animals she’s talked to before weren’t just cats and dogs—she’s spoken to birds too!】
【Birds are still common animals. If you study them a little, you can guess what they want. The fact that she hasn’t said anything for so long just proves something’s off!】
【Streamer, just admit it! Admit your mistake, apologize, get your account banned, and switch to the looks-based streaming scene instead of messing around with this nonsense.】
【Apologize! Get banned!】
【Apologize! Get banned!】
Before long, the chat was filled with demands for Ruan Xingyao to apologize and get banned.
Seeing this, “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” finally revealed a satisfied smile.
Exactly — this was the effect she had wanted.
She smiled smugly, completely unaware that her expression had already given her away.
Just then, Ruan Xingyao finally spoke:
“Is it really that it has no appetite? Or could it be that you’ve been force-feeding it too much food, and now it just can’t eat anymore?”
The expression on “I’m the Best at Making Money This Year” froze instantly.
The comment section also fell silent at Ruan Xingyao’s words.
The next second, a fresh wave of dissatisfaction surged.
【Streamer, do you even hear what you’re saying? Force-feeding! That’s a golden python we’re talking about! Who could possibly force-feed it anything?!】
